…..
January 28: Ring of Honor officials have just signed several matches for “Proving Ground ‘09” weekend, specifically the Orlando event on February 7th. Two of the Sunshine’s State’s best will get an opportunity to prove themselves against ROH’s best while four men aim to continue their brutal relations. The first match signed pits Shawn Osbourne against the legendary Jerry Lynn in a contest that will truly test the measure of Osbourne. A great showing here will go a long way towards securing Osbourne more ROH matches, and a victory over the former World Champion Lynn could skyrocket Osbourne’s career to heights he’s never seen. Lynn had this to say, “I’m looking forward to taking on one of Florida’s best on the 7th. But if Osbourne is looking to make his name off me, than he better bring his A-game. I’m not going to underestimate the guy, but Osbourne you should know that my eyes are squarely on Nigel McGuinness and the ROH World title, and I plan to beat everybody in my way until I get another shot!”
January 28: The second match signed for February 7 in Orlando will pit former ROH World Champion Austin Aries against local favorite and FIP standout, Brad Attitude. As with the match between Jerry Lynn and Shawn Osbourne, this qualifies as Attitude’s opportunity to show the world wha t he’s got, and a victory over Aries would certainly take his stock to a whole new level. When asked for comment, Aries responded, “Another match, another page in the Manifesto.”
January 28: And also signed for Orlando is a battle that will see four men, all very familiar with each other, battle it out in a Tag Team Grudge match. The Necro Butcher & Tyler Black both have a boatload of reasons for wanting to get their hands on Jimmy Jacobs & Delirious, and on February 7th in Orlando they will get that opportunity. When Black & Butcher will go to war against Jacobs & Delirious on 2/7, there’s no telling what kind of chaos will result. Putting this much hate in one ring at the same time won’t be pretty.

January 28: After breaking the announcement regarding D-Lo Brown’s appearance in Orlando yesterday afternoon, ROH officials received a brief email from the Multi-time champion that simply stated: 8 0I don’t know exactly who you’ve got lined up for me yet, but let me make it clear that I want to face the best ROH has to offer. I’ve always heard that Ring of Honor has the best wrestlers in the world, and I want nothing more than to test myself against them, to prove myself to the ROH fans, and to show why everybody should be down with the brown.”
